Insights
The launch of the Pacer PE/VC ETF (PEVC) marks a significant development in democratizing access to private markets. This innovative product addresses several critical pain points in private equity investing: illiquidity, high investment minimums and fee structures that have historically access to institutional investors.
The ETF's structure offers three compelling advantages: First, daily liquidity eliminates the traditional 7-10 year capital lock-up period common in PE funds. Second, the ETF wrapper provides greater tax efficiency through its creation/redemption mechanism. Third, the cost structure should be substantially lower than the traditional "2 and 20" private equity fee model.
From a market perspective, this launch is particularly well-timed. The private markets have experienced significant growth, with global private equity AUM reaching record levels. The ability to access these returns through a liquid vehicle could attract significant capital from:
- Retail investors seeking portfolio diversification
- Institutional investors looking for tactical allocation flexibility
- Wealth managers requiring more liquid alternatives for client portfolios
However, investors should understand that public market replication of private equity returns presents unique challenges. The FTSE PE/VC Index methodology will be important in determining how closely the ETF can track actual private market performance. The success of this product could potentially reshape how investors access alternative investments and influence the broader democratization of private markets.
The firm’s newest fund delivers transparent, cost-effective, liquid alternative to traditional private equity investing
The fund aims to deliver returns comparable to private equity and venture capital investments, without the traditional constraints of illiquidity, extended capital lockups, and high fees. Private markets have seen a surge in demand, driven by their historical track record of attractive returns. Investors increasingly seek alternative strategies to diversify portfolios and enhance long-term growth potential. PEVC offers a timely solution by providing cost-effective, liquid access to these sought-after returns.
Unlike traditional private equity and venture capital investments, PEVC provides daily liquidity, allowing investors to seamlessly integrate it into their portfolios without long-term capital lockups. This makes it an attractive option for those seeking the benefits of private market returns with the flexibility and transparency of public market investments. In addition, the ETF structure may offer tax advantages over direct investments in private equity and venture capital, further enhancing its appeal for both institutional and retail investors.
“This fund offers a new way to tap into private market returns,” said Sean O’Hara, president of Pacer ETF Distributors. “PEVC bridges the gap between the exclusivity of private equity and venture capital with the accessibility of ETF products.”
Gerald Toledo Global Head of Custom Solutions & Alternatives at FTSE Russell, said: “We are delighted to be working with Pacer to help them provide their clients with coverage of the US Private Equity/ Venture Capitalist market, with our FTSE PE/VC Index. For over 30 years, we have been collecting detailed transaction and valuation data on the universe of US private equity and venture capital companies, launching our initial Index in 2012."
